If you make $1000 per week in California, your estimated weekly benefit is $450 for up to 26 weeks. If you make $1500 per week in California, your estimated weekly benefit is $450 for up to 26 weeks. If you make $2000 per week in California, your estimated weekly benefit is $450 for up to 26 weeks.
The “Standard” Base Period uses the wages earned in the first four of the last five completed calendar quarters prior to the beginning date of the UI claim. The “Alternate” Base Period uses the wages earned in the four most recently completed calendar quarters.
Interstate claims are for people who worked in another state but now live in California. For example, if you were unemployed in New York and recently moved to California, you may be eligible for unemployment benefits.
(The start date is the date the applicant asks to begin receiving benefits—not the date the application submitted to EDD.) Next, multiply the applicable rate by the applicant's regular weekly wages to get the benefit payment. The maximum weekly benefit amount for 2025 is $1,681.
It's not too late. There's no deadline to apply for unemployment. The only thing you should consider is that the longer you wait, the less you're going to get.
If you work less than full-time, you may still be eligible for partial UI benefits. The first $25 or 25 percent of your gross total earnings for the week (whichever is greater) will not be counted toward your benefit amount. The amount remaining will be deducted from your weekly benefit amount.
"An individual is disqualified for unemployment compensation benefits if the director finds that he or she left his or her most recent work voluntarily without good cause or that he or she has been discharged for misconduct connected with his or her most recent work."
Generally, you should file your claim with the state where you worked. If you worked in a state other than the one where you now live or if you worked in multiple states, the state unemployment insurance agency where you now live can provide information about how to file your claim with other states.
Requirements to Apply Be unemployed through no fault of your own. Be physically able and available to work. Be looking for work each week. Be ready and willing to accept work right away.
